Gothic architecture developed in northern France in the 12th century. By having the walls of the church supported on the outside by buttresses and flying buttresses much of the weight of roof could be taken off the outer church walls. This made possible less massive walls. Now walls could be made higher which made it possible for taller churches. Also more windows or larger windows could be in the outer walls without weakening the structure. Also the windows could now be filled with stained glass. Gothic art was very emotional and almost always religious. Renaissance art begins in northern Italy in the 14th century. It represents the rebirth of classical forms. It harks back to the classical forms of Greek and Roman art, especially the column, the rounded arch (as opposed to the pointed Gothic arch), and the Roman dome. Renaissance art is always symmetrical unlike Gothic art. It is calm and unemotional unlike Gothic art. And Renaissance art was often nonreligious with themes from Greek and Roman mythology esp. in painting and sculpture which adorned blgs.

One important difference could be "flying butresses" a beams that cross up high towards a ceiling that create a sense of a very airy construction? While highly utilized during the Middle Ages and the Early Reinessance they came to be substituted by the none. However, they are still recognized as a high achievement of the Late Medieval master architects.

Gothic architecture was supported by flying buttresses and vaults. However, Renaissance architecture brought in many more domes and arches.
